UPDATE: Obama Rigged Iranian Election

UPDATE: Protracted deliberations over the political implications of President Obama’s direct interference in the Iranian elections are finally at an end. With the use of an “UPDATE” in the forthcoming text of this article, set out to prove (without the use of post hoc logic) the veracity of the above styled headline, fair-minded, sober conclusions can be reached.

Most experts with degrees and vast experience in the highly specialized area of foreign policy with Iran in the year 2009 tried to trumpet a call to arms after pronouncing, “Obama Hails Rigged Election.” Despite the in depth analysis of the previously linked article, it had no “UPDATES.”

UPDATE: Hot Air’sAllahpundit, (note to self: probaby a fair arbiter of issues given his/her birth name) wrote a detailed commentary on the Iranian election yesterday and how “Barry” might proceed in Iran. Not sure if Allahpundit cares for “Barry.” UPDATE: SINCE WRITING THE ARTICLE YESTERDAY, ALLAHPUNDIT UPDATED FOUR “UPDATES.” QUITE POSSIBLY THE HEADLINE WAS UPDATED. UPDATE: DEVELOPING…

UPDATE: Take cover! The Huffington Post is cornering the market on “UPDATES.” This comes as no surprise from a socialist blog run by some Marxist gal from Alabama, but, have they no shame? “Iran Updates (VIDEO): Live-Blogging The Uprising.” UPDATE: UPDATE YOURSELF BY READING A BLOG ABOUT “UPDATES.”

UPDATE: Fareed Zakaria at CNN will be updating the site with video today from his blasphemous show which has careful judgment and well-rounded thinkers. UPDATE: No videos updated to the GPS website.

Chaos raged in Iran this weekend as Mir Hossein Moussavi’s supporters continued to protest the results of last week’s election: despite brutal crackdowns by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s police forces, thousands of Iranians have remained on the streets of Tehran, risking their lives to demand fairness and justice.Here’s just one eyewitness account of the turmoil…

Aerial television footage showed people jumping on a police car, rocking vehicles attempting to pass through the crowd, setting small trees on fire and throwing fireworks and flares set up by police.

UPDATE: More violence erupted in the far west region of La where magic spells could not make the rioting disappear.

UPDATE, BUT BROKEN EARLIER: Fareed Zakaria updated his website with updated videos from yesterday (which were the same ones aired yesterday but not updated on the GPS website). Details next Sunday.

UPDATE: Republicans join Klingonsin assault on President Obama’s handling of the Iranian Elections.

Republicans, who never met a problem they didn’t want to solve by opening a can of Blood Wine with a bat lethe and grunting out some threatening-sounding gibberish. That might [will] get you points at Klingon Fight Club …

this iranian revolution won’t be as glamourous as the last iranian revolution because there’s no shah-in-exile to run around the riviera in a purple jet with members of that gay fraternity Gamma Mu, made up of texas oil scions and their barflies who used to joke about putting some sick queen from their group in the white house.
cause it already happened.

“Aerial television footage showed people jumping on a police car, rocking vehicles attempting to pass through the crowd, setting small trees on fire and throwing fireworks and flares set up by police.”

This is news?? Sounds just like Chicago when the Cubs make the playoffs. No big deal.

I hope their voices are heard, and that something can actually come of this, something positive, but I have my doubts, look how easily it was stolen from them? Look how easy it could happen even to a country like ours, outside chance of course, but, it makes you think, how fragile freedom is.

I can only imagine how that must feel, back during Gore/Bush was nothing this situation, makes that look tame.

It will be interesting to see how this one plays out–I too hope their voices are heard, but Ahmadinejad is doing his best to stifle all reports coming out of Iran.
I couldn’t agree with you more, Michelle, freedom is very fragile–and is always worth fighting for.

Without external military force, the only people that can change Iran are the Iranian people. We will soon see how that pans out, but even if Iranians are successful in lifting Moussavi to prez, it is not likely to change to he course of this rogue country; they are still a theocracy. They aim to acquire nukes and use them and when they finally do, we will wish that The Big O had been strong enough to take decisive action even if it meant military intervention.

He will not be able to just fire Mahmoud like he did the GM CEO, but The Big O could do something if only his hands were not tied by his own opposition and campaign against his predecessor for deposing a murderous dictator. The Big O infected his own self with MED (Military Erectile Dysfunction). There is, however, a cure: He could grow some balls!

Because, Louie, they are headed nuclear and we are just letting it happen like we did with NK. It would be much easier to take care of them now than later – sort of like it would have been better to take Bin Laden out in ’93 than after 9/11.

And Michelle – Al in due time? Is that like hordeshoes and hand grenades? because i don’t think we are looking for almost as a solution here.

What are we waiting for? Support from China or Russia? They will always veto any military option against Iran.

Are we waiting for Iran to come around now that The Big O said “We won’t talk forever!”? Surely you are not as naive as he is.

Naivety drives us to hesitation and hesitation to the grave. It has already happened once. How many times will it take before the other half of us get the message?

oh por favor,
the nukes of today are the bows and arrows of tomorrow.
in case you didn’t know:
anyone running for office in iran has to be approved by their thought police.
there’s little difference in the candidates.

That was my point, Louie. It won’t matter who wins their presidency any more than it mattered who won ours. And you may consider the nukes of today the bow and arrows of tomorrow, but the airplane was invented in the early 1900s and that ‘bow and arrow’ killed over 3000 people on 9/11 and changed our world forever.

the nuke issue is more volitile with NK…and there are just so many things that can be done about it, why do you think Bush did nothing when Kim first started flexing his nukes? Prolly just waiting to pass the buck, eh?

It would be nice, if the powers that be, could just “bam” make a move and “poof” solve all the issues. Ain’t that easy, bub…

hahahah pcl,
there’s a great article in the right hand box of the destested PD on whether the right should go ahead and declare their intention to start a civil war, since the lastest shooters left notes behind saying they were doing it because the GOP was telling them to do it.
and…….it brought up the neoclown think tanks that fund that kind of rhetoric.

well I have to agree with splash on that one.
the demise of the of our way of life began when liberals decided to give everyone, including poor white males, the right to vote.
secret ballots = another liberal mistake.

which brings me once again to my favorite louisiana politcal quote:
“….and we would have gotten even more votes had we not spared the lash.”

That’s my point Michelle. Iran would be easier to take care of now that they don’t have a nuke like NK and there are no other ways to deal with NK. Do you really think that sanctions will work? Kim ignores them and even threatens retaliation. At this point all we can do is buy him off for short periods of time.

Are sanctions working with Iran? Like Iran’s leadership, if you can call it that, care if their people suffer.

Did sanctions work for Saddam? All they did was give the madman 10 years to prove to us how useless an organization the UN is. Remember the Oil for Food scandal. That is what happens when you hesitate.

There is only one thing these idiots understand and it is a great big bomb to their little ol’ skulls. Kill the leaders. Then just ask the question: Anyone else wanna negotiate?

It is no surprise that W did nothing to NK considering the appreciation he got for toppling two ruthless dictatorships, freeing two nations and installing two new Democracies. And the libbies said “Well maybe they don’t want democracy.” And yet, what is happening in Iran today is a clear indication of the human spirit’s desire to be free.

W’s accomplishments in Iraq were downplayed and even pissed on so that Libbies could win an election. It empowered our enemies and cost us many more American lives than was necessary.

The Big O is no more effective on the international stage than was W and he gave us the impression that he would be far better – like he knew how to reach the turbinites. I don’t think Jesse Jackson just wished he could cut off The Big O’s balls; I think they are already stuffed and mounted in Jesse’s trophy room.

well the iranian semi-revolution just got a little more glamourous.
wolf blitzer interviewed a very old looking shah-in-exile pahlavi this afternoon.
wow, the riviera has worn that dude out.
he looks older now than his dad did then.

Found this hiding somewhere on my computer. I would cite the source but I have no idea where it came from. Hopefully, I won’t get sued. Thought someone on Twitter might want to send this to the folks in Iran. Once they establish who won the election, they can use the chart to decide which type of government/corporation they prefer.

yeah, in my day, politicians were supposed to have groupies.
women smell power like sharks smell blood in the water.
so really that whole lewinski circus just made the world think that americans were really stupid.
and turns out they were.

which reminds everybody about how clinton tried to get everybody’s attention on the impending threat of ben laden, and the GOP accused him of trying to divert their attention away from monica because of that.
which then reminds everybody of who is in today’s headline because of what,
after he denounced fornication without benefit of clergy….
like the others who were also flagrantly caught.

Wag the Dog is an accusation nobody could have made if ol’ Billy Boy wasn’t getting a Lewinsky in the Oval Office, huh.

And just because another hypocrite makes the news today doesn’t absolve Billy Boy yesterday. If Clinton’s attention had been on Bin Laden instead of the creative use of cigars, Osama would have been dead for a decade and a half already.

Hey!! I defended the guy over on PD–I said the other politicians have just not been caught, that monogamy can’t be maintained, that other politicians didn’t have the goods to even have an affair, that he and his wife worked it out, that Americans are becoming too goddamn puritanical and are returning to the Victorian era.

And that last part, about returning to the Victorian era, can only mean one thing–I am soooo screwed!!!!

The thing is, the unnamed fornicator without benefit of clergy is from Nevada. So, who cares. We kinda like our politicians sinful here. Poor old Harry, on the other hand, is in a bit of trouble. He’s up for reelection in 2010. Not only is he holier than thou and lets everyone know, he’s way over the top in pushing a few Obama things that people here don’t like. Soooo, it might be helpful if he would at least confess to one or two sins, even if he didn’t commit them. Then, we would reelect him without even thinking because, if he didn’t really commit the sin, at least he’s a liar. We like it like that.

Don’t worry, everyone knows Prince Harry is hitting Queen Pelosi. It will hit the press as Harry’s October surprise and he will win in a landslide. Unfortunately, my prediction are not worth a crap, right Bebe?

the guy who owned the aspirin factory was in the armament business for sudan. the cia says they found traces of sarin component chemicals. the owner’s lawyers said that was thin evidence. cia lawyers said that “thin” doesn’t mean there isn’t any evidence.
the us government paid off the aspirin factory owner anyway.
so….
because bill clinton is a normal heterosexual, the Gamma Mu queens from texas used his heterosexuality to their own advantage to gain the whitehouse and through their petulant incompetence allowed 9-11 to happen.

I have a suggestion before getting back to this. I didn’t appropriately title a piece you must watch. It’s called Artie Lange Rapes Joe Buck. Now, what you need to know, is this is unprecedented in tv history. Joe Buck took over for Costas. Artie blows up a live show. It is a type of comedy I’ve been talking about but, I should have made the title clearer. The reason I mention it is because I’m fairly sure you have never seen anything like this.

The twitter thing with Iran is interesting as is twitter. I can tell you that of the people you guys know who I posted there, one of them (from FOX) wrote back to me.
